It is not a matter of personal opinion that the practice of inflicting harm on defenseless others merely for personal gratification is inherently cruel and abjectly unjust. Rather, it is a universally accepted fact …

Now you can lie to yourself and others that the “well-being of the animals” is your “primary concern”, and you can try and convince others that you “love animals” and “want them to have a good life” before they die for your pleasure, and you can even try to attach any number of deceptive “feel-good” labels to the violence and devastation of breaking apart mother and child, of killing her babies, and of then killing the mother herself when she becomes “dried up” and is no longer profitable — and yet you cannot change the fundamental Truth of their suffering … You cannot change the fundamental truth that what you are doing —intentionally, systematically, and unnecessarily — is not a right, but rather a gross abuse of power … You cannot change the fact that, like slavery, using & abusing animals for the selfish conveniences of pleasure or profit is WRONG — period … And you cannot change the facet that — if humanity wishes to survive — IT MUST BE STOPPED, no matter how time-honored its practice.
